MY APPROACH
A way of working
that adapts to you.
No two people are the same, and therapy shouldn't ask you to fit into one model.
The Therapeutic Relationship
The relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important aspects of successful therapy.
I focus on creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you feel genuinely heard and where we can explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you.
Therapy isn't about someone telling you how to live your life. Together, we can develop a deeper understanding of yourself, recognise patterns that may no longer serve you, and work towards meaningful change.
WHAT IS
Integrative Psychotherapy?
No two people are the same, so there isn’t one approach that works for everyone.
Integrative psychotherapy brings together different evidence-informed approaches, allowing the therapy process to be co-created and adapted to your individual needs, rather than asking you to fit into a single model.
Some people benefit from understanding how their past influences the present. Others find it helpful to focus on their current relationships, emotions or practical ways of coping with everyday challenges. Often, therapy involves a combination of these.

What Approaches I use:
My work is informed by several therapeutic approaches, each offering a different perspective on understanding ourselves.
Humanistic Therapy
Humanistic therapy places the relationship at the centre of the work. It is based on empathy, authenticity and acceptance, creating a safe space where you can explore your experiences openly.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Our early relationships often shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Attachment-based therapy helps us understand recurring relationship patterns and develop healthier ways of connecting with others.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy focuses on increasing awareness of what is happening in the present moment. By paying attention to thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations, it can help you better understand yourself and respond more consciously to life's challenges.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns may continue to influence your present life, helping to bring greater understanding to recurring emotions, behaviours and relationships.
Cognitive and Behavioural Approaches (CBT-informed)
At times, practical strategies can be helpful alongside deeper exploration. Cognitive approaches provide tools for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns while supporting lasting change.
Systemic Therapy
We don't exist in isolation. Our relationships, family, culture and wider environment all shape how we experience the world. Systemic thinking helps us understand these wider influences and the role they may play in your wellbeing.
Jungian and Transpersonal Perspectives
Where appropriate, we may explore dreams, symbolism, spirituality, meaning and identity to deepen self-understanding and personal growth. This is always guided by your interests and beliefs, rather than imposed.
Existential Therapy
Existential therapy explores the fundamental questions we all face, such as meaning, freedom, choice, loss and uncertainty. It can help you reflect on what matters most to you and live with greater authenticity and purpose.
